Does the towel often end up on the bathroom floor, or does it stay wet for a long time? Obviously, its holder is incorrectly selected. A number of tips for choosing and installing will help to take into account the nuances and not only create comfortable conditions in the bathroom, but also get a stylish accessory.

Types of towel holders

One of the main attributes of a bathroom, without which order and comfort in it, is inconceivable is a towel holder. There are a great many options for this accessory: wooden or bronze, chrome or stainless steel. Accessories differ in types, types and shapes, so choosing is not easy.

Perhaps the first thing you should pay attention to when looking for a towel holder for the bathroom is the scale of the room itself, the location and size of the objects in it. Based on the location of the accessory, its types are distinguished:

• Floor;
• Desktop;
• Wall.

Each of these types has its advantages. For example, the floor holder is easy to adapt to your needs, as it is mobile, easily movable. Often made in the form of a rack with hooks or straps (swivel or those that extend).

The tabletop towel holder is convenient to use in a large bathroom, where the sink with a towel holder will look organic and on its spacious surface such an accessory will not interfere with hygiene procedures, which means that you will always have dry clean towels or napkins at hand.

The wall-mounted towel holder is convenient to use in small areas. Many different types of this attribute are sold for bathrooms. In their manufacture, various materials are used. The design can be any: a fixed, retractable towel holder, with several slats, for example, a quadruple type, etc. The choice of model depends on objective and subjective factors:

• Aesthetic needs of the consumer;
• The practical use of the accessory;
• The area of ​​the bathroom;
• Other

In specialized stores, you can choose according to your taste and capabilities any model.

Ring? Crossbar or shelf? Hook!

Each towel holder has its own advantages. Many have not only practicality, but also aesthetic appeal. A variety of shapes is most often distinguished by a wall towel holder. It can be in the form of:

• Kryuchkov;
• Crossbars;
• Shelves;
• Rings.

The above varieties have advantages, which are worth discussing in more detail.

Perhaps one of the most common types is the hook. This is the cheapest, easiest and most functional holder. It can be placed on the wall, on the door, even on the glass of the mirror. The hook can be one, several placed in a row or arbitrarily. A towel holder with hooks in the form of a strap is often found. The disadvantage of this type: the towel is poorly straightened and will remain wet for a long time.

The crossbar as a holder is much more versatile. Such an accessory can be stationary or mobile, placed on the floor or attached to the wall. The rotary towel holder is convenient in that it allows you to freely place several towels or terry cloths.It can be made of wood, metal, for example, bronze or stainless steel.

On request, you can choose rotary double, triple or quadruple bar holders. Such a rotary towel holder with several slats is convenient to use both for a small family and a lonely person.

The wall-mounted planks have more diverse shapes and a different number of crossbars. Produce a double, triple towel holder, variations of the quadruple, reminiscent of the design of heated towel rails. In any of them, it is important that the width of the crossbar corresponds to the width of the towel, then it will dry out well.

If the size of the bathroom allows, you can install a towel holder under the sink. It can be combined, consisting of crossbars, hooks and / or shelves (glass, wooden or metal) or with any one element.

Quite often in the bathrooms there is a towel holder-ring. This option is more interesting from the aesthetic side than from the practical one. Its functionality is similar to hooks, it has the same drawback - poor ventilation and, as a result, towels remain wet longer. Can be mounted as a towel holder under the sink or on the wall.

Choosing the right option

It is not easy to choose a holder with the wealth of choice available. A number of factors must be considered:

• The size and design of the bathroom;
• The number of people using the bathroom constantly;
• Organization of space in the sanitary room;
• Misc.

In a small room, it is best to use hooks, rings, but a wall-mounted towel holder with rotary rails, like a floor construction, will take up too much space, it is better to use them in spacious bathrooms. For medium-sized bathtubs, a combined product is suitable - a sink with a towel holder.

The more people use the sanitary room, the more towels to hang. The crossbars of different configurations and the method of placement proved to be quite good. The towel holder under the sink will allow you to effectively use the space, but the shelf will become a place of little chaos, especially if children use the bathroom.

When deciding on a product you like, think about how it will behave in conditions of high humidity of the bathroom. Even if the room has good ventilation, the bathroom still has its own microclimate, so purchase an accessory with special treatment or impregnation, otherwise the metal towel holder may rust, and the wooden one will at least lose shape.

Mounting Methods

When choosing a holder, consider the features of its mounting. There are no problems with the floor and table types - where they are installed, they are there. When installing the wall, you need to consider what material the walls are made of. In order for the structure to hold itself firmly and withstand the weight of the towels, it is required to be securely fixed.

There are two options:

1. Open.
2. Hidden.

In the first case, with the help of screws, the holder is installed in the selected place. Attachment points are visible. In the second case, the same screws are closed with a special structural part. You can use glue, Velcro or suction cups, although this method of attachment is unreliable, as it can withstand light loads.

In a word, choose a towel holder with an understanding of the essence of its purpose, design features and, most importantly, with pleasure. Modern manufacturers will provide the opportunity to choose exactly what you need.
